Worst game EVAR!

Heh, I remember getting this game for for my Atari (this was back when there was only one Atari, none of this 2600, 7200 business, only the one brownish Atari console that had a flat, ridged surface) and being so excited to play it. What can I say? I was young and naive.....

Then I actually went and popped it and started to.....play. If it can even be called that. See, this game has ZERO point. There were maybe 5 different screens that you would run through aimlessly until you started to get chased by a couple of pixels that were supposed to be a government agent...or something. And if he caught up to you you would fall in a pit or go to jail....or something.

Needless to say, the game was truly AWFUL and was really the very first example of developers cashing in on a big-name license by delivering a horrendously bad game that was nothing but an insult to fans of the IP.

It also was pretty much the downfall of Atari (the original, and TRUE Atari, not this window-dressing Atari we have today that's owned by Infogrames) and almost destroyed the gaming industry in the USA.
